Moving forward in determining the causes of mutations: the features of plants that make them suitable for assessing the impact of environmental factors and cell age.

Abstract excerpt

Currently, the types of factors that impact the mutation rate is a controversial issue. The marked attention towards identifying the factors that impact the genomic mutation rate is justified because mutations are the source of genetic variation underlying evolution and because many mutations have deleterious effects and can cause diseases. Although data showing correlations between germ cell division number and...
